VAISHNAV JAN TO
by Narsinh Mehta (1414 -1481)




Vaishnav Jan to tene kahiye je, peed parae jane re, Par dukhe upkar kare toye, man abhiman na aane re…

One who is a Vaishnav, knows the pain of others, Does good to others, without letting pride enter his mind.

Sakal lok maa sahune vande, ninda naa kare keni re, Vach kachh mann nishchal rakhe, dhan-dhan janani teni re…

A Vaishnav, tolerates and praises the entire world, does not speak ill of others, Keeps his promises, actions and thoughts pure, his mother is blessed indeed.

Sam drishti neh trishna tyagi, par stri jene maat reh, Jivha thaki ashatha na bole, par dhan naav jhali hath re…

A Vaishnav sees everything equally, rejects greed and avarice, respects women as he respects his own mother, Though his tongue may tire he will utter no untruth, never touches the property of others.

Moh maya vyape nahi jene, dridh vairagya jena mann maan re, Ram naam shun tali lagi, sakal tirth tena tan mann re…

One who gives up attachments, whose mind renunciates, The name of Ram is on his lips, whose pilgrimage is within.

Van lobhi ne kapat rahit chhe, kaam krodh nivarya re, Bhane narsaiyo tenu darshan karta, kul ekoter tarya re…

One who is not greedy or deceitful and is free of lust and anger, O Narsi, in the company of such a person the entire family gets salvation.
